General Discussion / Re: March Newsletter
« on: March 24, 2014, 07:56:51 pm »Please get a high-school English teacher or some other really nitpicky type to review the newsletter for things like its/it's. You guys have been pretty consistently bad about those kinds of basic spelling/grammar things. A huge portion of the population really cares, and will immediately write you off for making these kinds of mistakes. In official Invictus communications, it's just completely inexcusable to be making these kinds of errors. Please please please have someone who knows all the rules proofread it!
Really? What really matters is the transmission of ideas from their brains to our brains. I already read the newsletter think it is great and am very happy to have read an entertaining informative piece. We have better things to do than bicker over every grammatical mistake.
I agree that from a professional perspective, having things reviewed for grammar errors would be better. It just means the cost of producing the news letter would go up and additional delays on it being published.
I'm quite good (and quick) at finding grammatical errors and rephrasing sentences to better convey an idea. I would be happy to proofread these before going out. I always think it's best to have someone review it who had no part it writing it.
